Tradestation 8 - upgrade or downgrade from 2000i?

I'm curious as to others opinions - is TS8 an upgrade or a downgrade from 2000i. From my perspective, I see it as a downgrade for a few key reasons

1) Retarded monthly fee structure

2) Problems with a few key functions (atleast that I use regularly and had to find workarounds to)

3) Unable to import your own ASCII data files (I know there are a few ways to do it using 3rd party programs, but I"ll be damned if I'm going to pay $1999 to be able to do something TS2000i did for free)

4) They seemed to have "dumbed" it down to make it easier for the average person to use, as opposed to an experienced trader (no offence meant towards anybody, this is just my thought on it)

Everyone I work with shares similar feelings to it. How about you guys?
